The way the Clampett's misinterpreted the simplest things really made this show as funny as it was, and it's still just as funny in 2020 as it was when it premiered nearly SIXTY YEARS AGO. The Beverly Hillbillies ran from 1962 - 1971 (274 episodes, NINE seasons!).

[@cherylalt101]

Mike Hawk You're right, those misunderstandings and all the word play were wonderful and still hold up today. I'm grateful for the opportunity to see these shows again. Both granny and Jed were full of actual wisdom in so many of these episodes.

[@sardaracampa1733]

The voice of Jethrene was done by Elizabeth McRae, who played Gomers girlfriend, Louanne Poovey on GPUSMC. There was one actress that did the voiceover for 2-3 episodes then McRae took over permanent. There was a contract dispute with the studio and some other Guild, so McRae had to do it under the table, and she said she desperately needed the extra cash. She didn't admit to it until a Townhall meet n greet with the cast of GPUSMC, Petticoat Junction and The Beverlyhillbillies. I was there when she said it.
